STATEHOUSE – More than 1.5 million automatic taxpayer refund (ATR) checks have been printed and mailed to Hoosiers.

The Indiana State auditor’s office confirmed they successfully completed printing paper checks and sent the last batch of automatic taxpayer refund checks to the postal service last week on September 22nd.

Officials say most Hoosiers who filed a 2020 tax return in 2021, should have received their automatic taxpayer refund via direct deposit or with a mailed check by now.

The state auditor’s office also said the are aware that many need further assistance to claim the money. Due to the checks being issued from the 2020 Indiana tax return some recipients have passed away or moved. In some cases they are working to get those checks reissued to the proper name and address.
